The Cleveland kidnappings books should appeal to those who like to read thrillers and police procedurals as well as those who read the grimmer sort of crime novels. The real-life component ramps up the reader's involvement. Some of these books have been described as "compulsively readable," indicating a quick pace, and the observations of the captives of their captor give insight into his mind. The rescue of the women brings the same relief that a fictional happy ending does.
Working Stiff by Judy Melinek should appeal to those who read detail-rich, character-oriented fiction set in hospitals and morgues. The combination of grim reality and the author's sense of humor balance nicely, making a potentially gruesome subject less onerous and contradicting the gloss of television shows such as CSI.
